Okay i had a shower, so i'm feeling quite refreshed...which means this post might have a change of personality from the previous post. This time i actually have something important to say.
So for the past few days...being confined to the walls of my dwelling, i have come up with a few handy inventions that could possibly improve society's wellbeing.
Invention #1:
What?
A never ending tissue box.
Why?
To avoid the need to manually replace tissue boxes.
How?
A tunnel or chute is built into each house and all these chutes end up at one destination - the tissue filler. This system is much like a sink connected to the dam, where there is an "endless" supply.
Benefits:
- It relieves the community's stress by removing a chore from the list.
- It promotes equality for all since everyone uses the same tissues. This is a way to narrow the gap between the rich and poor and prevent discrimination through the use of tissues. E.g. Some use 3 ply tissues, which are obviously of a higher quality than 2 ply tissues. However, 3 ply are more expensive hence could suggest one's socioeconomic status.
- It provides assurance that there is an "endless" supply of tissues.
- It prevents deadly, contagious diseases such as influenza and the common cold from spreading, as those infected are not required to step out of their dwelling in order to purchase tissues.
Problems:
- It is extremely environmentally unfriendly - it encourages use of tissues, and in accordance with the notion of supply and demand, the number of handkerchief users will decrease while the number of tissue users will increase.
- It is extremely cost ineffective - the government would have to fund the manufacturing of these chutes for each and single household.
- A house probably has more than one tissue box, hence each household would then need more than one chute. Although it could be a solution to only limit one per house, it would be an unfair disadvantage for those with larger houses as they would have to walk further to that single tissue chute, and even if they decide to purchase tissue boxes - the traditional way, this would also be a disadvantage as they would be denied from receiving all the benefits of this system.
- Some may be allergic to the tissues issued (haha) through the chute.
- Malfunctioning of the chute will be a major issue and will require continual maintenance. However, this will create new employment opportunities.
Far out, i can't believed i just typed all that out. What a waste of time...but some consider-able points there! :D
Byee!
